ghost craftsman

Chapter 30
Thinking of this, I quickly got up and said hello to the old man.

Although there are some differences between us ghost craftsmen and carpenters in their work, the essence is to deal with wood, and they all share the same ancestor.Therefore, as a junior, when you see an elder, you must take the initiative to say hello, this is the rule.

The old man originally had his eyes closed, as if he was meditating, but when he heard my voice, he slowly opened his eyes. His pair of deep eyes stared at me for a long time, and he snorted coldly, "You broke my law?"

As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood that he should have tampered with the window of Li Chengze's house.

I was wondering before, why did the old man who brought me in say that everything was under control, after a long time of fiddling, the culprit of this incident is actually in his house, no wonder he is so confident.

I originally wanted to ask him why he did something at Li Chengze's house, but thinking of Li Chengze's personality, I lost interest in asking. Instead, I was full of curiosity about the red toon wood stained with corpse gas, so I asked him: " Old man, there is something that I have been wondering all along, why is there a corpse on the red toon tree?"

He ignored me at all and turned his head away.

Seeing this, I shrugged helplessly. There was nothing I could do about it. The relationship between our ghost craftsman and the carpenter was originally not harmonious. In addition, I broke his law at Li Chengze's house a few days ago, so he naturally didn't like it. Will give me a good look.

At this moment, the old man who led me in presumably saw my predicament, smiled at me, and said, "Young man, don't take it seriously, this is what He Dingguo is like. He thinks he is the best in the world, but he is actually a carver Well carved."

"Zheng Kaiyuan, can you speak!" Then He Dingguo said fiercely from the side.

If you say it's fierce, you can be fierce, but you forgot to stare at me.

I was also drunk, so I ignored He Dingguo and asked Zheng Kaiyuan, "You asked me to come here to be angry, didn't you?"

He shook his head with a wry smile, got up slowly, walked towards the back, and said, "Of course not, I came here to ask if you are interested in knowing about Li Chengze's family."

What about Li Chengze's family?
Of course I want to know, knowing that the stingy guy still owes 7000 yuan, so I immediately nodded and said, "I'm interested."

He smiled, didn't speak, and moved out a set of tea sets, let alone, although Zheng Kaiyuan's house is shabby, but the tea set he took out was very valuable at first glance, it should be made of red sandalwood, with carved patterns on it It is even more lifelike.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kaiyuan brought over another thermos, washed the tea set unhurriedly, brewed another pot of tea, poured a cup for each of He Dingguo and me, and asked me: "Young man, have you ever heard the phrase If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing yourself."

I hummed, a few days ago at Li Chengze's house, he said this, I was quite puzzled at the time, so I said, "Is this related to Li Chengze's family?"

He smiled, took a sip from the teacup, and motioned for me to drink tea. As for He Dingguo, he kept a zombie face, motionless, and did not reach out for the teacup.

I picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Zheng Kaiyuan suspiciously, and heard him say: "It's still the same sentence as before, if you want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself, since you have done something outrageous, this is retribution. , it will come sooner or later, it’s not that I didn’t report, the time has not come.”

I immediately understood that Li Chengze must have done something harmful to the world and let He Dingguo know about it, so he tampered with the window of Li Chengze's house, and looked at He Dingguo, originally wanting to ask him a question.However, seeing his zombie face, I chose to ask Zheng Kaiyuan, and said, "How do you always know?"

He smiled slightly and said softly, "This matter must have started ten years ago."

ten years ago?
I'm a little confused, the matter of Li Chengze, isn't it just these few days, why is it brought back to ten years ago.

Then Zheng Kaiyuan must have seen my doubts, stroked the beard on his chin, looked at He Dingguo, and said with a smile: "Old He, everyone else is here, why are you still hiding your things?"

As soon as these words came out, He Dingguo snorted coldly, opened his eyes slightly, took a deep look at me, and then, like a magic trick, he took out a piece of wood that was two fingers wide from behind, and I picked it up to have a look. It's red toon wood, a bit rough to handle, but when you smell it carefully, there is a very faint smell of corpse.

I frowned and asked in confusion, "Is this wood for windows?"

He nodded silently, and stared at me for a while, not knowing what was going on, I felt that the way he looked at me was strange, especially when he stared at the nail of my right index finger, his brow frowned slightly, and then , as if thinking of something, he took out a Luban ruler from behind.

The strange thing is that this Luban ruler is not the Luban ruler we usually see, but is covered in gold, with bamboos the size of mung beans inlaid on all sides.

After taking out the Luban ruler, He Dingguo read a few esoteric and difficult words. I was confused, and found that after he finished reading the words, he took the Luban ruler and tapped a few times on the red toon wood. Down.

His way of slapping is very weird, I have never seen it before, he first stood up the red toon, patted it, then laid the red toon flat, slapped it again, finally put the red toon in the palm of his hand, Take another shot.

I asked him what it was for, but he ignored me, and instead let me hold the red toon wood.

I didn't think too much about it. I took the red toon wood and held it in the palm of my hand. The strange thing is that when I took the red toon wood before, I felt that the red toon wood was very ordinary and there was no difference. , but it was chilly to the bone, as if it had just been taken out of the ice cave.

Just when I felt the abnormality of the red toon wood, suddenly, I felt my head pop, and I almost cried out of the pain. I turned my head and saw that He Dingguo had an extra wooden stool in his hand at some point, and it happened to hit his head.

In an instant, I just felt dizzy in my head, and my whole body became extremely uncomfortable, as if something surged from all sides, making my limbs numb.

Then, I didn't know if I passed out or what was going on, I heard a strange sound pierced into my ears, the sound was like the whisper of some kind of ghost language, and it hurt my eardrums.

After touching it for a while, the strange voice stopped abruptly, and immediately, a conversation between a man and a woman rang out in my ears.

The woman said: "Chengze, this is not good!"

The man said: "What's wrong, they have shared a lot of money with us over the years, and they only know how to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and smoke. Why should I give them money?"

The woman said: "But, after all, they are your partners. If they hadn't given you money, you wouldn't have been able to start a trading company!"

The man said: "The little money they gave at the beginning has already been returned ten times to them. Now, this trading company is entirely dependent on me. Okay, let's not talk about it. I have already given them sleeping pills. When they were asleep, they were buried alive, otherwise, in the future, I don’t know how much money will be given to the four wastes!"

The woman said: "But...but...but I'm afraid, these are four living lives!"

The man said: "With the benevolence of women, those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Let alone, the hole has been dug. Bring the shovel quickly. When they wake up, it will be difficult."

The woman said: "Chengze, this shovel seems to be entangled in a tree branch, and it cannot be pulled."

The man said: "You, you, you can't do a little thing well, let me do it."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of pulling a branch, and then there was the sound of heavy shoveling, and hysterical laughter.
